On behalf of the Government of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Transport of Russia and FGKU Rosgranstroy implemented a project to introduce an automated queue management system for cargo vehicles at the busiest automobile checkpoint Vesely-Voznesenka on the administrative border of the Rostov region and the DPR.
On the M-14 highway passing through the territory of the new regions (from Rostov-on-Don through Mariupol, Melitopol, to Dzhankoy), an electronic scoreboard has been installed in the Novoazovsk area informing truck drivers about the congestion of the Vesely-Voznesenka checkpoint and the current queue management mode.
With low traffic, the information "freight transport is carried out on a first-come, first-served basis" is displayed on the scoreboard. In case of a large congestion of vehicles at the entrance to the checkpoint, a queue control mode is introduced: information about the redirection of freight transport to parking lots is displayed on an electronic scoreboard. In this case, the employee of the Vesely-Voznesenka checkpoint redirects the arriving cargo transport to two special parking lots (a 75-seat site is located 12 km from the checkpoint, a 150-seat site is 4 km away). The information on the scoreboard allows drivers to select a particular waiting area. Each parking lot is equipped with automatic barriers with video detectors, video surveillance cameras and a driver notification board.
The automated queue management system allows automatic queuing of the vehicle, thanks to a video detector that records the vehicle number upon arrival at the site. The progress of the queue is monitored by the system and displayed on a scoreboard installed on the parking lot. You can also monitor the progress of the queue through the Internet portal and connect an SMS notification about the arrival of your queue. The system automatically makes a call for vehicles to pass through the checkpoint.
Experts note that the introduction of an automated queue management system for cargo vehicles in Vesely-Voznesenka allows, in the event of a sharp increase in cargo traffic and the risk of congestion, to streamline traffic by redirecting traffic flows to wait for passage to special platforms, ensure road safety and prevent congestion blocking access to the checkpoint for other modes of transport.
